I've had my car for about six months. My display said add 1 quart yesterdyaso today on the way to work now its not even giving me a reading.i reluctantly drove to work like that but now every where i look they don't have it. Is this stuff only at the dealership and online? If so i gotta leave my car at work tonight till the dealer opens tomorrow.

There have been several threads on this in the past, but I think the OEM stuff you can only find at the dealer or online (like at turnermotorsports).

I found a dealer that had a pretty fair price in my area and I bought 3 bottles to have on hand.

A word of advice, when you refill do it in at most 500cc increments, then recheck your level. My car told me I was 1 quart low, and when I filled it with 500cc and rechecked I was at the max. If only we had a dipstick...

It holds 8 freakin' quarts. Don't worry about it unless you plan to run the banking at Daytona. That's about the only place i can think of where being a quart low might have an effect. Low oil level does not stress the engine in any way.

Being down a quart is not as big a deal as it is made out to be....... Just add a quart of oil within a few days and everything will be fine. It is not like you have to shut your car down to avoid engine damage!
